A Plain-Talking EAD Tag Library

<chronitemset> Chronology List Item Set

<chronitemset> is a new element in EAD3, used in place of the deprecated <eventgrp> within a <chronitem> element. It allows multiple places and/or locations to be combined with a single date.

Without its use, <chronitem> must contain a single <event> and up to one <geogname>. <chronitemset> pairs the date element in <chronitem> with one or more <event> elements and zero or more <geogname> elements. If more than one event or more than one <geogname> should be included in a <chronitem>, <chronitemset> must be used.

Attributes

@altrender – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.

@audience – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”

@id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.

@lang – not required. Three-letter code that indicates the language in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 639-2b.

@script – not required. Four-letter code that indicates the script in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 15924.

Child Elements

<chronitemset> must contain at least one <event> element. It may then contain a) further <event> elements, or b) further <event> elements and a <geogname> element, or c) multiple <geogname> elements (even if only a single <event> element is used). See below for examples of cases when it needs to be used:

Note on use order: In the case that <geogname> is used in tandem with <event>, <geogname> must be used first (including within regular <chronitem>). However, <geogname> is also available within <event>.
